锁模激光脉冲序列的量子理论

本文发展了一种描述锁模激光脉冲序列输出的全量子理论.采用“相干叠加”模型,即认为从多模相干态光场不同模吸收光子后的原子态是相干的,耦合形成相干组合态.考虑锁模激光各模式间相位关系.用多模相干态描述光场,应用预解算符和投影算符推导演化算符,使本方法可统一处理锁模激光脉冲序列输出及原子的共振多光子过程.     

纠缠压缩真空态的纠缠转移

通过分析光学分束器对压缩真空态光场的作用,发现如果分束器的输入光是两束具有同样振幅和相位的单模压缩真空态光场,则输出光为双模压缩真空态光场;若分束器的输入光是两束具有同样振幅但有π相位差的单模压缩真空态光场,则输出光仍为两束单模压缩真空态光场.对于双模压缩真空态光场,每个模中容纳的光子数可以是基数或偶数.而对于单模压缩真空态光场,每个模中只能包含偶数个光子.根据这些结果,提出了一个纠缠转移的方案.在这个方案中,两个纠缠压缩真空态光场被用作量子信道,通过利用光学分束器作用和光子数探测的方法,并在经典通讯的帮助下,实现了三个通讯伙伴之间的纠缠转移.

研究了双模SU(1,1)相干态光场与V型三能级原子玻色-爱因斯坦凝聚(BEC)相互作用系统中光场的量子相关性质、振幅平方压缩效应和原子激光压缩效应。结果表明,双模SU(1,1)相干态光场各模的二阶相干度不随时间变化,光场各模光子是反聚束的,呈现非经典效应,光场两模相关性是非经典相关。光场具有周期性的振幅平方压缩效应,讨论了光场相关参数和原子相关参数对压缩深度、压缩频率的影响。双模原子激光不易压缩,压缩深度取决于光场初态。     

虚光场效应对原子激光压缩性质的影响

在压缩真空态光场和二能级原子玻色-爱因斯坦凝聚体相互作用系统中, 应用全量子理论, 分别在旋波近似和非旋波近似下, 研究了原子激光的压缩特性以及原子本征频率、光场-原子的耦合系数、光场初始压缩因子以及虚光场对原子激光压缩特性的影响. 研究表明,原子激光的两个正交分量均可被周期性压缩,原子的本征频率决定了原子激光两个正交分量涨落的量子Rabi频率,光场与原子的耦合系数决定了原子激光正交分量涨落的崩塌-回复振荡频率,当光场初始压缩因子增大和考虑虚光场效应时,原子激光正交分量的压缩深度均加深. 关键词： 玻色-爱因斯坦凝聚 压缩真空态 原子激光 虚光场效应     

原子间相互作用对V型三能级原子激光压缩性质的影响

研究了V型三能级原子玻色-爱因斯坦凝聚体与双模压缩相干态光场相互作用系统中原子激光的两个正交分量的压缩性质,并与三型三能级原子玻色-爱因斯坦凝聚体和双摸压缩相干态相互作用系中原子激光的压缩作了比较.结果表明:压缩相干态光场的初始压缩因子和凝聚体中原子间的相互作用强度对原子激光的两个正交分量的压缩有明显的影响,随光场压缩因子增大原子激光的压缩深度增加,而随原子间相互作用变强,对原子激光的正交分量的压缩的影响变浅.     

优于12dB压缩态光场的产生与观察

压缩态、振幅压缩态和非经典相关态光场等均为非经典光场。压缩态体现着光场的一种新的量子特性,对它的研究有着重大的科学意义;而且因其电场正交相分量之一的量子噪声可低于散粒噪声极限(shot noise limit简称SNL)在光通信、光计算机、光学精密测量及光谱学、非线性光学中有着十分诱人的应用前景。 继非经典相关态光场产生与观察后,最近作者采用负反馈半导体激光器和平衡零拍探测器成功地产生并观察到了低于散粒噪声极限以下12dB的压缩态光场。本文所报道的产生压缩态光场的实验方案不同于业已报道的参量产生方案(如参量转换、四波混频等):首先实验利用半导体激光器作光源,经分束器将很少一部分光作为信号光束,而其主要部分光作为本振光束。没有用到光学腔,强泵浦光和非线性材料;其次,采用了信号光场量子涨落的     

原子间相互作用对双模原子激光压缩性质的影响

研究了由单模压缩相干态光场与Ξ型三能级原子玻色爱因斯坦凝聚体(BEC)相互作用系统中耦合输出的双模原子激光的压缩特性,重点讨论了玻色爱因斯坦凝聚体原子间相互作用对原子激光压缩性质的影响,并讨论了原子激光压缩对光场初始压缩因子的依赖关系。结果表明:由光场诱导的双模原子激光呈现周期性的压缩,原子间的相互作用和光场初始压缩因子对原子的压缩性质具有重要影响。原子间的相互作用影响原子激光压缩的振荡频率而不会影响其压缩深度,而初始光场的压缩因子则对原子激光压缩深度产生调制作用,且初始光场的压缩因子越大,则原子激光压缩的时间越短。     

级联倍频过程中谐波场量子噪声压缩的增强

压缩态光场是连续变量量子信息科学研究的重要资源。本文提出了一种利用级联的单共振倍频系统提高压缩度的方案,研究表明两次倍频分别产生的二次谐波与四次谐波场为压缩态光场,且四次谐波场的压缩度比二次谐波场提高了大约3dB。我们还研究了两个谐波场的压缩度随泵浦场衰减率、泵浦功率的变化关系。该系统不仅可以增强压缩态光场的压缩度,而且能将压缩光拓展到更短的波长区域。此外,通过对波长1 014.8nm的基频光进行四倍频获得与汞原子吸收线波长相对应的压缩光场,对量子存储、光谱测量和光频标具有实用价值。     

相干反馈控制实现两组份纠缠态光场纠缠增强

两组份纠缠态光场是量子信息和量子计算的基本资源,随着研究的深入发展,为了完成更高效的量子信息处理,必须首先获得高纠缠度的两组份纠缠态光场。而通过操控实现纠缠光场纠缠度增加是目前提高纠缠光场质量的一个行之有效的办法。相干反馈控制由于不会带入额外噪声至光学参量系统的特点已经被实验证明可以用于压缩态光场压缩度的增强。理论计算增加了相干反馈系统的非简并光学参量放大器输出的两组份纠缠态光场的量子关联噪声与各系统参数的关系,并详细分析了各参数对相干反馈纠缠增强的影响,为进一步获得更高纠缠度的两组份纠缠态光场提供参考。     

Time and frequency features of noise for a pulsed squeezed state field generated via degenerate four wave mixing

The time and frequency features of the fluctuations are studied for a pulsed squeezed state field generated by train of pulses produced by a mode-locked laser via degenerated four wave mixing. We propose an improved balanced homodyne detection scheme, which can be used to measure simultaneously the time variation and the frequency spectrum of the noise of in one quadrature component of the pulsed squeezed state field. The explicit expressions for the intensity and the noise as functions of time and frequency are derived. The features of the intensity and noise spectra are discussed. It is shown that the variation of noise with time exhibits a pulse train with reduced noise and the frequency spectrum of the noise displays some very interesting properties.

Pulsed homodyne measurements of femtosecond squeezed pulses generated by single-pass parametric deamplification

A new scheme is described for the generation of pulsed squeezed light by use of femtosecond pulses that have been parametrically deamplified through a single pass in a thin (100-microm) potassium niobate crystal with a significant deamplification of approximately -3 dB. The quantum noise of each pulse is registered in the time domain by single-shot homodyne detection operated with femtosecond pulses; the best squeezed quadrature variance was 1.87 dB below the shot-noise level. Such a scheme provides a basic resource for time-resolved quantum communication protocols.     

Pulse picking by phase-coherent additive pulse generation in an external cavity

We have implemented a simple method for generating an "amplified" phase-coherent light pulse in which a pulse train of phase-coherent, equidistant input light pulses from a mode-locked Ti:sapphire laser is coupled into a ring cavity resonator whose length is matched to the mode-locked pulse repetition frequency at 82 MHz. Pulses are thus coherently superimposed and added inside the buildup cavity and form an intense pulse that is switched out from the cavity via a fast acousto-optic modulator. The method thus provides a pulse train at a reduced and controlled repetition frequency and with higher pulse energies than the original mode-locked pulses.     

Ultraslow propagation of squeezed vacuum pulses with electromagnetically induced transparency

We have succeeded in observing ultraslow propagation of squeezed vacuum pulses with electromagnetically induced transparency. Squeezed vacuum pulses (probe lights) were incident on a laser-cooled 87Rb gas together with an intense coherent light (control light). A homodyne method sensitive to the vacuum state was employed for detecting the probe pulse passing through the gas. A delay of 3.1 micros was observed for the probe pulse having a temporal width of 10 micros.     

Effect of Guided Acoustic Wave Brillouin Scattering on Pulsed Squeezing in Optical Fibers with Nonlinearity and Dispersion

Quadrature squeezed light generation with optical pulses in a fiber loop mirror is analyzed through computer simulation. The effect of guided acoustic wave Brillouin scattering (GAWBS) in optical fibers as well as those of nonlinearities and chromatic dispersions are considered for the first time. The relation between the GAWBS noise and the optical pulse width is discussed in detail. It is found that the nearly fundamental soliton pulse is optimum to get the largest squeezing even if the GAWBS noise is effective. The broadened pulses suffer larger degradation of squeezing due to this noise.     

Ouput characteristics of a passively mode-locked ruby laser

Characteristics of the pulse train from a ruby laser have been studied at different output intensity levels. At a low output level, broadening of the spectrum of the pulses is followed by a gradual increase of temporal width in the train. At a high output level, rapid deformation arises closer to the peak of the train, resulting in splitting of the pulses into several fragments. The width of a transform-limited pulse obtained at the beginning of the train was 28±2 picoseconds.     

可编程声光色散滤波器在10 Hz飞秒再生放大系统中的应用

报道了在10 Hz飞秒再生放大超快激光系统中,运用可编程声光色散滤波器(AOPDF)对注入再生放大的种子光进行频谱整形和色散预补偿,使钛宝石激光系统输出光脉冲谱线半峰全宽由原来的38 nm展宽到66 nm,压缩后输出脉冲宽度从35 fs减小到20 fs。实验结果表明,利用可编程声光色散滤波器能够同时独立进行光谱整形和大范围内色散补偿的特性,可以有效抑制啁啾脉冲放大过程中存在的谱线增益窄化效应,补偿钛宝石激光系统中存在的残留色散。这为进一步研制小于20 fs,10 TW量级钛宝石激光系统奠定了基础。     

Squeezed states of light pulses in the presence of a self-effect in an inertial nonlinear medium

A systematic theory of the formation of squeezed states during the propagation of coherent light pulses in a medium with an inertial Kerr nonlinearity is developed. It is established that the region of the spectrum where the quadrature fluctuations are weaker than the shot noise depends on both the relaxation time of the nonlinearity and the magnitude of the nonlinear phase shift. It is also shown that the frequency at which suppression of the fluctuations is greatest can be controlled by adjusting the phase of the pulse. Pis’ma Zh. éksp. Teor.

Nonlinear filtering by use of intensity-dependent polarization rotation in birefringent fibers

We analyze the transmissivity of a nonlinear filter that is based on intensity-dependent polarization rotation in a birefringent fiber. It is shown that the transmissivity of the element depends not only on the intensity of the incident light but also on the time behavior of its amplitude. Such an element can be used as a derivator, an element that transmits only variations in the input pulse. The filter can also be used for obtaining lasers that generate a train of intense noiselike pulses with a broadband spectrum and a short coherence length.
